Amber vs. TogetherLetters
Amber is story-first: write the real story, add your photos wherever you want them, and share it as an email newsletter or one link that anyone can open - no account, no schedule, no group to manage. TogetherLetters compiles written updates from a group into one scheduled email.

Common questions
What is the difference between Amber and TogetherLetters?
TogetherLetters collects short written updates from everyone in a group and compiles them into one email on a schedule. Amber is individual and story-first: you write the update, add photos from your camera roll wherever you want them, and share it as a link whenever you want.
Is there a TogetherLetters alternative that doesn't require email?
Yes. Amber emails the newsletter directly and gives you one flexible link, so you can text it in a group chat, email it, or post it anywhere. Email is an option, not the only channel.
Do recipients need to join anything?
No. Anyone with the link can view an Amber album without an account. They only need to sign up if they want to make albums of their own.
